Did crime writer Drew Danner kill his ex-girlfriend? A lot of people seem to think so, including a jury of his peers. But he can’t remember doing it – he has amnesia, probably resulting from the brain tumor-induced grand mal seizure he is having when police find him with the body. Danner avoids going to jail (he was found guilty by reason of mental defect), but is framed within days for the murder of a second woman. Cleared of that charge by a fluke, he becomes desperate to prove that he was framed for the first murder as well. Well-written, with a sympathetic hero, this puzzler will satisfy fans of writer Harlan Coben and Joseph Finder.
